INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Nut Chords?
Nut Chords is a chord and scale finder mainly for guitar players.
It can detect all chords and chord positions, you can use all
tunings, you can search all scales and arpeggios, make chord-
diagrams, convert chords between fretboard and keyboard...
The interface is keyboard/mouse based, mess around, very easy!
What do I need to use it?
486+, Windows 95 (Win32), Guitar/Keyboard.
What's new?
The whole Windows version, this is the very final release.
For the old DOS version check nutcho13.zip from Simtel.Net.
DOS version is bad, it has bugs, mistakes, false chords etc.
Known bugs
Nut Chords does not support large fonts, leaves crap if you use them.
ControlPanel -> Display -> Settings -> FontSize -> USE SMALL FONTS.
Things to know
- Left mouse button sets fingerplaces, keys, chooses things, changes tuning.
- Right mouse button clears boards, changes tuning.
- Scroll the chord positions by using arrow buttons!
- Chord-box shows the name of the current chord, the last chord formed.
- You can convert the >current chord< between fretboard and keyboard.
- Use the filter to cut out worst positions for fingers.
- BasicChords-box contain only some BASIC chords, you detect all chords by
pressing keys or putting fingerplaces. You can search the chords were
they valid chords or not. Press keys, check name, convert and search!
- 3 notes is the minimum to form a chord, 6 notes the maximum (6 strings).
- Use scale-mode to search for scales/arpeggios, powerchords etc.
- You can form chord-diagrams and change the tuning at right!
Information
This is not a toy like the rest of the chord finders.
You need to understand music to get anything out of this.
I'm glad to help you, but try messing around at first.
